Theme: “Mirror Glitch.”
In a world of selfies, stories, and avatars, we often see more of our digital selves than our real ones. Mirror Glitch explores the tension between curated identities and authentic selfhood. It reflects on how performance, filters, and online presence shape how we see ourselves — and how others see us.
This theme encourages introspection on issues like imposter syndrome, mental health, and the quiet struggles behind the screens. It’s not about disconnecting from the digital world, but about engaging with it more consciously. Vulnerable yet empowering, Mirror Glitch invites honest storytelling and celebrates the courage it takes to be real.
